Allergies and carpets: how to prevent risks in the workplace?

Allergies and carpets linked? Contrary to popular belief, carpet is a floor covering that does not in itself cause allergies. However, it may contain allergens that can cause respiratory symptoms. Whether in the workplace or at home, this risk can be prevented by regular and appropriate maintenance.

Understanding carpet allergies

Carpet is not directly responsible for allergies. In fact, a quality textile floor covering causes no allergies, and probably fewer than a hard floor covering.

However, carpet can trap dust, which is the real culprit behind allergies. These allergens include dust mites in warm, damp rooms, which are not present in professional spaces. These enter the carpet through air penetration and are invisible to the naked eye. They can also be pollens or other allergenic substances.
